Operating Instructions
Circuit Board Only: The combustion blower determines the adjustment of air from high fire to low fire. The combustion exhaust blower is a variable speed blower controlled by the heat output. When the heat output is turned down the blower speed will slow, decreasing the airflow through the firebox. As the heat output knob is turned up, the blower speed increases drawing more air through the firebox.

the rate of airflow into the room by varying the speed of the convection blower. When you first start the stove, it should be placed in the “OFF” position in order to heat the unit as quickly as possible. Once the room has come up to temperature, the control may be set to a comfortable level. *Note: The convection blower may cycle to high automatically depending on the setting of knobs “A” and “B”. This is a normal safety feature of the unit.
SPECIAL NOTES: The flashing green light corresponds to the auger feed rate.
The scale on the Dial A Fire knob represents a range, not exact times. Wood pellets of differing quality may affect the performance of the stove. If the stove has trouble operating at the ends of its’ range, turn the heat output knob back slightly.
KNOB “B”: Dial a Fire Heat Output Knob. This knob controls the amount of heat output. The dial has a scale with the blue zone representing the coolest setting of the stove, and the red zone representing the hottest setting. The scale on knob “B” represents a range, not exact at times or fuel quantities.
Wood pellets of differing quality may affect the performance of the stove. If the stove has trouble operating at either end of its range, turn the heat output knob back slightly.
TURNING YOUR PELLET STOVE OFF - TIMER:
To turn your stove off, simply turn the HEAT OUTPUT knob (“Knob B”)
